about me

As a Senior Oracle Database Administrator at ING Luxembourg, I handle diverse databases (Oracle, Cassandra, MSSQL), overseeing critical tasks like refreshing, patching, upgrading, backup management, installation, and troubleshooting. Proficient in Python and shell scripting and Ansible for automation, I automate processes for efficiency. My expertise includes Oracle technologies (Active Data Guard, RAC, RMAN, GoldenGate) and PostgreSQL replication management (repmgr), ensuring database integrity and optimal performance.

I hold a Master's in Physical Geography from the University of Coimbra, focusing on GIS, Remote Sensing, and Climatology. I've published a book and journal articles based on my master's research. ( ).
Fluent in English and Portuguese, certified in ITIL, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and Azure Data Fundamentals, I stay updated on technological advancements, thriving in collaborative Linux (especially Ubuntu) environments.
